    TSS, like Strada at Mt Maunganui, resigned their Aprilia dealerships earlier this year. You should talk with the principles of both businesses as to their reasons for that.

    Car Details are --
    Cam - Stage 3 street/strip
    Flowed heads
    Match ported Intake manifold to heads
    Stage 3 Pro Eprom
    Injectors changed
    Lighted & balanced crank
    ARP - Racing high volume oil pump
    ARP- Racing Big & mains end bearing
    SS Cold air induction intake
    Mace - 70mm Ported / polished throttle body
    Proworks - Strut Brace
    K/N filter
    High flow exhaust
    18" Avanti Phantic
    Nurothan bushes
    Lowered - 50mm
    260KW /350HP at motor > 500.74 lb/ft / 678.14 Nm
    VERY tidy mate, nice work.

    Mine's stock at the mo with the exception of manual ratio diff, full nolathane kit out, Koni 12 way bump and rebound coil-overs all round (lowered about 30mm), slightly quicker ratio steering rack, rebuilt and strengthened transmisson. Then it's had the leather re-done with black leather added to the seat centers and door panels

    I'll be doing the heads, manifold, cam and breaings when it wears out. Problem is, the fucken thing's done 394K, never had the inlet manifold or rocker covers off and shows no sign of needing it.

    Quick question, why would I look for a bike review in Performance Car magazine? I'd be more interested in reading about the HSV GTS VE2 than a bike. Likewise, I don't buy Kiwi Rider to be informed on how the new FG XR6 Turbo performs.

    This isn't a sarcastic pisstake either, I'm genuinely interested in why a car mag would be publishing bike tests (and I'm aware that when NZ Performance Car was launched they had monthly bike tests)

    This isn't a sarcastic pisstake either but why am I reading about Taxi's in a bike thread?

    oh, ok sorry yes it is a sarcastic piss take, but you get that with this model.
